Chapter 47

Dominic

Only because Vanessa’s drunk right now, it makes it difficult to even be offended by what she’s just said to me.

I guess this is the perfect opportunity for me to find out just how she feels, and keep her distracted from her sorrow.

“You really put up with my shit because of your dad?” I ask, a hint of amusement in my tone.

“Yeah, otherwise, I wouldn’t even be here right now. You’re just an asshole and you would be a complete asshole if not for one thing”

“And what’s that?” I’m surprised I’m still taking no offense.

“It’s only because of how compassionate you are about the children. That’s the only reason I haven’t labeled you as a complete asshole.”

I still don’t even know how to feel about it, but it makes me chuckle silently.

“Seeing the way you care about those children even when they’re not yours, you’ll be a great dad.”

“Hmm?”

“Are you and I really going to start a family together?”

“Yes we are. I’m just waiting for the right moment.”

“The right moment.” She scoffs and I sense a little bit of pain in her voice.

“What is it?”

“That’s a statement I used to say to myself a lot before I met you. I always wanted to keep my virginity for my husband, the love of my life. That’s why I would always tell myself that it would be the right moment, but I’m stuck with you and you’ll be my first and last.””
